IIAIG INSPECTS BRITISH FORCE HOLDING RHINE Press is Praised for Aid in War by English Field Marshal 'Br Aaaoclat1 Pr.l COLOGNE. Dec. 19. Field Marshal Halg is In Cologne to make his initial tour of Inspection of the territory occupied by the British along the Rhine. Immediately on his arrival the British commander In chief proceeded to the famous Hohenzollern bridge for a meeting with more than a score of war correspondents representing all the great newspapers of the allied and neutral countries.

The occasion was in the nature of a farewell to the writers who have been accredited to British general headquarters and who finished their labors

when the British completed their occupation of the territory assigned to

them under the armistice. Praises Work of Press.

In a brief address the field marshal expressed his deepest thanks for the work done by the press in presenting the truth of the war to the world and the hope that the correspondents henceforth would devote their energies In advocating everlasting peace.

, Last night and the night before the Germans experimented with Mild defiance of martial law as instituted by

the British troops of occupation, and paid the penalty for their indescretion. When the Brltfsh Issued thir edict that the civilians, with certain exceptions, must be off the streets at 7 o'clock In the evening, and then, thinking this too severe, altered the hour to 9 o'clock, many persons smiled knowingly, and decided the order was a mere formality. Saturday night was the first time the rule was rigidly enforced. At that time some 200 civilians who were parading the streets, were rounded up by the military police and summoned to appear the next morning for trial. Monday these persons were tried, and as first offenders, each was fined ten marks.

Few excuses were made beyond thr

statement that the defendants had thought the police would do nothing. Last night the performance was renewed. At 9 o'clock large numbers of persons were promenading about the streets In the vicinity of the military offices. Some tardy ones undoubtedly were unwittingly breaking the law. but many of them made ihe Infrac1 f Jon quite apparent. They simply were out for what would happen. They soon found out that business was intended. A cordon of military police was thrown about the mpst frequented sections of the town and every person was compelled to show a pass or give their names or answer to a summons orf the next day. Several hundred men and women were caught In the net and were tried.

BRITISH FARMERS SHUN OWNERSHIP

A notable difference between the mental attitude of the English farmer and the American farmer has been revealed by the efforts of the British government to increase that country's food production and preliminary surveys looking to the same ultimate end in this country. In Great Britain laws were enacted providing for farm land tenancy under conditions meant, to stimulate the tenant to buy land. The terms were made easy and the prices attractive. Contrary to expectations, hardly a tenant among thousands has indicated desire for ownership. It has been found upon investigv tlon that the British small farmer shuns the responsibility of ownership and looks upon the prospect of tying himself down to one spot as a hardship. There is no apparent discontentment over the terms and for the most part these farmers seem anxious
